Welcome To Today In Yankees History
by Kenny Rogers
Lost to Toronto today 1-3 (1-2)
| 1989 | On Opening Day, Tommy John ties a record by playing in 26 seasons. The Yankee veteran hurler beats the Twins, 4-2, for his 287th win, putting him 19th overall in career wins. |
| 1994 | A total of 56,706 fans attend Opening Day, making it the largest crowd ever at new Yankee Stadium. The Bronx Bombers do not disappoint the throng when Jimmy Key beats Kevin Brown and the Rangers, 5-3. |
| 2012 | Joey Votto and the Reds agree to the longest guaranteed contract in major league history, a $251.5 million, 12-year deal. The dollar amount, second only to A-Rod's $275 million and $252 million pacts with the Rangers and Yankees, easily surpasses Ken Griffey Jr.'s $116.5 million, nine-year signing in 2000 as the richest in franchise history. |
